Sometimes called "the most English of the English novels." A plot that proves life is not always boring far from the madding crowd - that the rural life has its own drama. Unforgettable characters - Bathsheba Everdine, heartbreaker and feminist prototype; Boldwood, the landowner who has always been too busy and self-contained for love; Sergeant Troy,a womanizer who cannot overlook the possibilities that Bathsheba presents; and Gabriel Oak, the steady shepherd who remains faithful through wrack and ruin to 'Mistress Everdene.'
